Geburtstag

My birthday took place again two months ago and I still have not shown you my lovely presents! I have decided to finally go ahead with although one beautiful cone of laceyarn is missing on the picture. You will just have to wait for the finished project to see that gorgeous green.

Mein Geburtstag ist ja nun doch schon eine gute Weile her und ich will endlich mal einen Teil meienr Geschenke zeigen, auch wenn ein wunderschönes grünes Lacegarn auf dem Foto fehlt. Da müßt ihr wohl aufs fertige Modell warten. ;D Sobald ich mit den Weihnachtsgeschenken fertig bin, werde ich mich an diese wunderschönen Garne wagen. Anleitungen habe ich ja genug mit dazu bekommen:



I can hardly wait to finish my Christmas knitting and start projects from these lovely yarns. Aren't they all terrific? And I have three new books to choose projects from:




Very handy are these boxes. You can either transport nuts, apples or stitch markers etc in them. Their motives will always cheer me up.

Of course, my friends and family did not forget to give me some reading material too. I have read all but one of the books I received for my birthday and very much recommend Daphne DuMaurier, The Frenchman's Creek - I haven't read such a compelling, cozy adventure in a long time. Very different, but another excellent read was Rona Tearne's The Swimmer.
Natürlich gab es auch noch "richtigen" Lesestoff zum Geburtstag. Sehr zu empfehlen:Daphne DuMaurier, The Frenchman's Creek und Rona Tearne's The Swimmer.
